Customer Review: A Real Review...
Summary: 2 Stars
I had played the demo version of this game when it came out. It needs a very fast system, and even then, it can take a long time to load. The rules are moderately complex, and it requires the player to focus on many different aspects at once - your mana count, the creatures coming to attack you, your spell book, power up bonuses and the enemy wizard. The graphics were decent, and cool at times. It takes a while to get used to it, and even then you might move your character in the wrong direction. Magic is a complicated game, and it was hell for the programmers who originally made the AI that plays.
The spells 'come to life' to give it more action, and less strategy, and make it less complicated. Seriously, you (the wizard) can block or deal one damage. If I was playing MTG (the card game) and I got attacked by a 1/1 I can't say, I smacked it dead. We all want to see the epic wars / duels we play come to life, but without sacrificing the game.
